Before you head out for the day, make a quick smoothie and take it with you! This berry smoothie recipe is my favorite, and it\u2019s loaded with antioxidant rich, lower-sugar fruits. Most of the ingredients can be stored in the freezer, making this super easy to have on hand and make before getting on the road for the day. This smoothie was made with a Nutribullet, which makes the drink quickly and very creamy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Berry Smoothie<br \/>\n<\/strong>1\/2-3\/4 frozen banana<br \/>\n1 cup frozen mixed berries<br \/>\nSmall handful of spinach<br \/>\n1 tbsp flaxseed<br \/>\n1 tbsp chia seed (optional)<br \/>\n1 heaping scoop of vanilla protein powder (I use Orgain with Superfoods)<br \/>\nFill with unsweetened almond milk to max line<\/p>\n<p><strong>Directions<\/strong>:<br \/>\nCombine all ingredients in Nutribullet, putting milk in last.<br \/>\nScrew lid on tight and blend.<br \/>\nOnce smooth and creamy (20-30 seconds), stop blending and remove lid.<br \/>\nPour into a to-go cup and enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p><strong>Tips for storing<\/strong>:<br \/>\nBuy an extra bunch of bananas. Peel and break them in half, and put in a freezer safe bag. Pull out when time to make your smoothie. Freezing reduces the need for ice.<br \/>\nBuy frozen fruit mixes from the freezer section at the store. The fruit will be washed, cut, and conveniently in a bag for you to just scoop out. No need for expensive smoothie bags, just buy either separate bags of different fruits or fruit that is combined.<br \/>\nBuy your spinach fresh and then freeze it as well. This will help it from going bad, and you can just pull a small handful out at a time for your smoothies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_post_meta_wrapper\">\n<section id=\"comment-wrap\">\n<div id=\"comment-section\" class=\"nocomments\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"respond\" class=\"comment-respond\"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Smoothies are a great way to get a punch of nutrition while you\u2019re on the go.
